Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Rose Wine, Albarino

Cajun on the menu? Try pairing with Sauvignon Blanc, rosé Wine, and Albarino. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. You could try Villa Maria Wairau Valley Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.

Villa Maria Wairau Valley Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

A classic representation of Sauvignon Blanc from the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, bursting with aromatic tropical fruit characters found in this warmer sub-region. This wine displays powerful aromas of blackcurrant, passionfruit and ripe rock-melon. The palate has an enticing array of ripe citrus fruits mixed with pungent herbs such as fresh rosemary, finishing with subtle acidity.
