Anaba’s name originates from cool, upward-flowing anabatic winds that soar and swirl through its sustainably farmed Carneros Estate vineyards. Gifts of nature, these unique air currents make the vineyard more temperate, slow down the ripening process, and allow the grapes to develop more robust flavors and distinctive varietal characteristics. Anaba Wines became the first winery in Northern California to utilize wind power when it installed a 45-foot wind turbine to harness the anabatic winds. This wind turbine generate electricity for Anaba’s tasting room, wine storage, office operations and irrigation pumps for the two estate vineyards.
