This wine is also the first release from Honeybear Orchard and Vineyard in Los Olivos. This vineyard has been farmed biodynamically and intentionally for as long as there are records; it began as native Chumash Indian land then became a biodynamic Jojoba farm and now is a biodynamic orchard and vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love working with this small vineyard and fell in love with the wine in barrel so decided to retain its acidity and freshness. Bottled at 11 months after neutral French oak aging this wine is meant to be drank early and with friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"34-cases-produced\"\u003e34 Cases Produced\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Gretchen Voelcker, Luna Hart Wines is a boutique wine company specializing in small batch, handcrafted wines in the Santa Ynez Valley. Gretchen makes wines in which she explores the techniques and nuances that continue to stoke her passion for wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGretchen's passion for wine began while living in Europe with her family and during summers spent wine tasting throughout France. During those experiences she began to see the beauty in the balance of science and art that makes up winemaking. It was not until years later that the initial spark would turn into the flame that is now Luna Hart Wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuna Hart started with a work trade with one of Gretchen's mentors, Ryan Roark, making Sauvignon Blanc under the label of Moon Unit Wines. Those initial wines have become the foundation for Luna Hart Wines and the inspiration for all future vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuna Hart wines are a representation of the grapes’ origin, vintage and variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the beginning Luna Hart has focused on vineyards practicing sustainable, organic or biodynamic farming throughout Santa Barbara County. Luna Hart wines are a representation of the grapes origin, vintage and variety. Gretchen believes that her wines should be a reflection of the terroir and aims to highlight the qualities and beauty in each unique vintage and site she works with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith careful attention to the fruit in the vineyard and tasting daily throughout fermentation, Gretchen produces high quality, fruit forward wines with bright acidity and balanced by incredible structure. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42614636118267,"sku":"00073089","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/products\/a02fe1a383cc2ae88d1bc7c14952e35a.jpg?v=1643408027","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/luna-hart-fresh-cabernet-franc-honeybear-vineyard-santa-barbara-county-ca-2020","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
