Gretchen Voelcker created Luna Hart wines with a focus on creating wines that represent the grape variety and vintage, while also reflecting the terroir. At Luna Hart, Gretchen focuses on experimenting with her favorite varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc, Gruner Veltliner, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah.

The name Luna Hart represents that balance between feminine and masculine energies that Gretchen seeks in her wines. Luna is the moon which signifies feminine energy and Hart is the stag which symbolizes masculine energy.
