Winery	The grapes come from a 0.6-hectare vineyard located on the fertile slopes of the Olifantsberg Mountain Range, where they endure large diurnal temperature differences and strong winds at altitudes from 250 to 450 metres above sea level. During the winter, the mountain peaks are snow-covered, keeping the vines dormant for longer. Strong, constant winds characterise this block; they have a cooling effect and encourage a slow, gradual ripening of the grapes, helping to maintain healthy vines and contribute freshness and elegance to the wines. The soil in the vineyard is made up of sandstone with clay shale and quartz. The vineyard is farmed sustainably, with only 'green' products used to prevent disease, thus helping to maintain the biodiversity within the vineyards and soils. Supplementary drip irrigation sustains the soil moisture monitored by soil moisture probes. The vines are VSP-trained and are hand-harvested early in the morning to retain freshness. The lark is found in many biomes in South Africa, each with distinct calls and features depending on the biome. This wine is named after the Red Capped Lark, which is found on the Olifantsberg farm; it resonates with this block of Chenin Blanc, as it, too, has its expression and story to tell.
