Hall Of The Mountain Grill

Product Information

Epokale’s name references a time some two centuries ago when Gewürztraminer (aka Traminer Aromatico) in Alto Adige was usually a sweeter wine, a style largely abandoned today in favour of dry wines. Hence in Germanic terms, it’s a classic Spätlese. The lightest of the late harvest styles, it may contain traces of noble rot ( Botrytis cinerea) in some vintages. Nadja Sayej (2 November 2015).

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.

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 The group returned to North America a second time for a more comprehensive tour consisting of 22 dates in March and April under the banner of "1999 Party", taking their entire entourage with them including dancer Stacia, MC and DJ Andy Dunkley, a lightshow by Jonathan Smeeton (Liquid Len) and support from United Artists Records label mates Man. [13] [14] [15] Although Dettmar had not yet left the group, House joined the band for this tour, but not having the appropriate work permit, his performances were strictly unofficial.

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.

No human-made cellar could achieve such conditions without vast expense. And while this storage incurs transport and rental costs, no energy is required to maintain it.
