During this period, bâtonnage was carried out periodically to ensure optimal integration between the wine and the wood. After bottling, the wine was further aged for approximately 6 months in bottle. Thanks to the particular conditions of its ageing and the distinctive characteristics of the Encruzado grape, this is a wine with remarkable ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker \u003c\/strong\u003eCarla Rodrigues, Carloto Magalhães e Manuel Vieira\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNICAL SHEETS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Download Technical Sheet\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/4957\/files\/FT_TEIXUGA_BRANCO_2020.pdf?v=1776862654\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Download Technical Sheet\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9439\/2772\/files\/FT_TEIXUGA_BRANCO_2019.pdf?v=1699880595\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacheca - Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55602167644500,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/4957\/files\/TeixugaBrancoEncruzado2019.jpg?v=1738802420","url":"https:\/\/pacheca.com\/products\/teixuga-white-wine-encruzado-2020","provider":"Pacheca Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
