06: Staying True to Yourself, with Gretchen Voelcker
Monday, 14 October, 2019
In today’s podcast, I speak with Gretchen Voelcker, the winemaker behind Luna Hart Wines. Sitting in front of her home in Santa Barbara, we had a great chat about integrity, making wine you love, and risk-taking. Luna Hart Wines is a boutique wine company specializing in small-batch, handcrafted wines in the Santa Ynez Valley. Gretchen makes select wines in which she explores the techniques and nuances that continue to stoke her passion for wine. The project was started making Sauvignon Blanc under the label of Moon Unit Wines (which is a great story) but will move forward focusing on Grüner Veltliner and Cabernet Franc. With careful attention to the fruit in the vineyard and tasting daily throughout fermentation, Gretchen produces high quality, fruit forward wines with bright acidity. Her hope is to highlight the grape’s origin, the vintage, and the variety. She focuses on producing varietal wines from her favorite grapes that spur her to learn more about winemaking and to showcase them more purely and more precisely. Gretchen never turns down the opportunity to experiment and welcomes interesting projects.
