Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Chili on the menu? Try pairing with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. You could try Clos Amador Cava Tendre rosé. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 11 dollars per bottle.
Clos Amador Cava Tendre Rose
Clos Amador Cava Tendre Rose
Intense and deep pink color with a brilliant appearance. Constant formation of rosaries of fine bubbles. Clean and intense aromas of red fruits, typical of the variety, with a light note of rose flower. Fresh and elegant, with marked notes of wild fruit, raspberries and cherries that frame a firm, broad aftertaste.Enjoyed especially as an aperitif, Clos Amador Rose makes a perfect match to dark chocolate mousse and is divine with fresh red fruits and cakes such as strawberry charlotte.
