About this deal

At Poschhaus Stollen, a bright red electric train with yellow carriages awaits us. Its fairground-like appearance belies its serious role as the only practical way in and out of the mine. Meanwhile, we dress in waterproofs and rubber boots (this level is muddy, being an exit for mine waters). Helmets and lamps are essential too. Outside, it’s approaching 30°C, so the mine initially offers welcome respite. September 8, 1973 Winter Gardens, Malvern, ENG (supported by Ace, Andy Dunkley, Liquid Len & Cosmic Frenz)

May 27, 1973 Empire Pool, Wembley, ENG (Supported by Sutherland Brothers & Quiver, Magic Michael, Deke Leonard & Iceberg, Danny & The Racing Cars, Fruup & (DJ) Andy Dunkley) January 14, 1972 Community College, Slough, ENG (supported by Spontaneous Combustion, Carol Grimes & Uncle Dog & Heavy Eric)Hawkwind – Hall of the Mountain Grill (album review 2) | Sputnikmusic". www.sputnikmusic.com . Retrieved 6 July 2016. Sort of shattered my illusions when I found out that the Mountain Grill was a cafe on the Portobello Road and the legend of Beenzon Toste mere fiction, more about the rattling of cutlery and a Full English Breakfast than my imagined Psychedelic Warlords being marooned on a distant planet finding themselves in a cavernous Hall inhabited by mythical Troll like creatures. Here the bottles stay for seven years, undisturbed in natural conditions that remain constant year-round. There is no light, sound or vibration – only silent darkness. Furthermore, the temperature (11°C) and humidity (90%) are perfect. Atmospheric pressure is also lower at this altitude, meaning 20% less oxygen is present than at sea level, reducing oxygen ingress through the corks.

A perfect wine? Whether you embrace or dismiss such tropes, there’s no doubting that this remarkable achievement helped put Italian Gewürztraminer, Alto Adige and Cantina Tramin on the world stage. However, as we shall see, the style of the six vintages thus far released continues to evolve. Cantina Tramin and Gewürztraminer December 21, 1980 Queens Hall, Leeds, ENG (supported by Eddie & The Hot Rods, Praying Mantis & Chevy) Kent, David (1993). Australian Chart Book 1970–1992 (illustrateded.). St Ives, N.S.W.: Australian Chart Book. p.135. ISBN 0-646-11917-6. The group continued touring heavily around Britain and Ireland from December into February under the banner "The Ridiculous Roadshow with the Silly Hawkwind Brothers". [11] By this time, their live set had been revamped and contained what would become the bulk of this album. Two dates on 25 and 26 January at the Edmonton Sundown were used as an opportunity to audition Simon House as Dettmar's replacement, House having been known to the group via his time with High Tide, who had shared the same management company of Douglas Smith's Clearwater Productions. [12] These dates were professionally recorded, with the performances of "You'd Better Believe It", "Paradox" and "It's So Easy" appearing on the album and singles, albeit with studio overdubs.a b c Henderson, Bill (1 June 1974), Baptism of Fire, Sounds, archived from the original on 30 March 2003 , retrieved 23 September 2015 The group's fourth studio album, it was the first by a new line-up that included Simon House on synthesizer, Mellotron and electric violin; absent were Robert Calvert, who had previously contributed lyrics, vocals and spoken word interludes, and Dik Mik, who provided electronic effects. a b Barton, Geoff (12 October 1974), Hawkwind-busted! but not broke, Sounds, archived from the original on 14 March 2012 , retrieved 23 September 2015 For completeness, it’s worth noting that the wine was made in 2014 but has never appeared. The 2014 vintage conditions were harsh, so this wine is “a good Gewürztraminer, but not an Epokale.” Nevertheless, that wine continues to mature within the mountain, with its ultimate fate still undecided.

By comparison, as distressing as the time when I found out that Santa Claus was not a real person. That bad. Returning to England, the band went to Clearwell Castle to rehearse, [12] then entered Olympic Studios to record this album in May and June, with help from producers Doug Bennett and Roy Thomas Baker. The lead singles "Psychedelic Warlords (Disappear In Smoke)" (coupled with "It's So Easy") in the UK and an alternative version of "You'd Better Believe It" (coupled with "Paradox") in France were issued on 2 August, followed by the album on 6 September. Alternative studio versions of "It's So Easy", "You'd Better Believe It" and "Wind of Change" were later released in 2011 on Parallel Universe.

Release

Harvest is by hand at the end of October, about ten days after the main crop. Yields are meagre, at only 28 hectolitres per hectare. After a short grape maceration and pressing, the juice ferments slowly for four weeks in stainless steel tanks at 18°C. Then this fermentation is then halted by deliberately cooling down to 5°C for ten days, leaving residual sugar and stable wine. There is no subsequent malolactic fermentation, as Gewürztraminer needs the racier malic acid to balance the wine. This new wine stays on its lees in smaller stainless steel tanks for 8-11 months, with some lees stirring in the early months before it clarifies naturally. Bottling is then under cork. Now the magic happens. The Epokale tasting took place at the Cantina, in a vast air-conditioned hall where the surrounding views of towering mountains and vineyards provide a magnificent setting. This debut vintage from a warm year set the benchmark. 2009 had very ripe grapes with high sugar content, some Botrytis, and high acidity. A deep 24-carat gold colour presages powerful aromas. Rose petals and lychee are signatures, but there’s much more besides; lavender, passionfruit and mango all appear, as do cinnamon and saffron. The palate is richly creamy, almost syrupy, retaining finesse thanks to the retention of fresh acidity to balance a large amount of residual sugar. Honey appears on the palate, plus added complexity from salinity, ginger and cloves. The finish takes minutes. This vintage was the one that later received 100 points. There’s an overwhelming impression of power, concentration and intensity, a wine for slow-sipping contemplation. Magnificent – but is it too much? Arguably so. 2010
