Spanish term or phrase: encabeza hasta/permanece hasta xº
Este texto se trata de vinos de Andalucia, y pone varias veces:

Fino: En Jerez se encabeza hasta 15º

luego

Depende del grado alcohólico, permance hasta 15º

La crianza oxidativa: los vinos clasificados se encabezan hasta 17º.

y tambien En Montilla son 15º naturales.

¿Alguien me puede echar una mano? ¿Se refiere al porcentaje de alcohol?

¡Gracias!

Explanation:
De acuerdo con este diccionario, encabezar en el lenguaje de los vinos es "to fortify"

< encabezamiento encabritarse >

en·ca·be·zar

tr.
figurative (estar a la cabeza) to head, lead
(un periódico) to title, head
(una carta) to head
(registrar) to register, enroll
(vino) to fortify (wine)
carpentry to join

Y de acuerdo con este comentario, creo que "permanecer" simplemente quiere decir que puede quedarse en la botella por X tiempo.

Review
, by our sommelier Santi Olivella
Un blanco diferente y extraordinario, elaborado con variedades centroeuropeas especialmente bien adaptadas al microclima del valle de Baldomar.
Gracias a su proceso de elaboración, este vino blanco puede permanecer un largo periodo de tiempo en botella sin perder sus particulares aromas y delicado bouquet.

A ver que dicen los colegas expertos en vinos.
