TO THE NEXT GENERATIONS.
A NOSSA CULTURA.
Sustainable ecosystem
At Quinta Miradouro dos Dízimos, we understand that our role goes beyond producing wines. Each bottle represents not only the best of our grapes and our commitment to looking after the planet. Our positive carbon footprint is a reflection of our constant effort to minimise our environmental impact and help develop a self-regulating ecosystem based on 3 pillars:
Regenerative agriculture: we maintain the health of the soil through mulching techniques and the reduction of chemicals.
Efficient use of water: we monitor and optimise the irrigation of each vine.
Clean energy: we invest in renewable energy sources.
Our project's carbon balance
Positive environmental impact
With our vineyards and a 3,000 m² woodland area, we not only minimise carbon emissions, but also generate a positive environmental impact. We calculated our carbon footprint taking into account both the emissions generated by our activities and the carbon captured by plants and trees, as well as the clean energy we generate. The result is significant:
Carbon capture by the vineyards
Our 6,600 vines capture an average of between 3.3 and 6.6 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
Carbon capture by the woods
Our 3,000 m² woods capture around 1.5 to 3 tonnes of CO₂ per year, while also promoting the region's biodiversity.
Renewable energy
The 30 photovoltaic panels produce around 36,000 kWh per year, avoiding the emission of approximately 7.2 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
Emissions generated
The emissions associated with our activities, such as the use of agricultural machinery and fertilisers, are estimated at between 300 kg and 500 kg of CO₂ per hectare per year.
Final result
The carbon balance is extremely valuable as we capture and avoid between 11.7 and 16.5 tonnes of additional CO₂ per year, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.
