Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Rose Wine, Albarino

Sauvignon Blanc, rosé Wine, and Albarino are great choices for Jambalaya. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. The Lomond Cape Agulhas Sauvignon Blanc with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Lomond Cape Agulhas Sauvignon Blanc

Bold yet elegant, this cool climate Sauvignon Blanc is a true representation of the diverse terroir of the southernmost tip of Africa. Unique white stone fruit flavors and a beautiful minerality are a classic product of the cool sea breeze.
