Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices for Cajun. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. You could try Torres Pazo das Bruxas Albarino. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
