Answer:

Past Perfect Progressive

Explanation:

Although there is no underlined phrase in this text, the only verb phrase is "had been winding up".

Past perfect continuous tense or past perfect progressive is a tense that shows an action started in the past and continued until another time in the past.  

Its structure is as follows: subject plus had been plus present participle of verb (verb + ing).

So, “had been winding up” is a past perfect progressive tense.
