We're a winery, not a consultancy: we make wine. But every case of 6 we sell carries a measurable commitment: we measure its footprint with your real address, reduce it across our chain and offset until 100 kg net remain — about 13 times that footprint. Here's the whole methodology, no smoke and mirrors.
We calculate each wine's emissions with a Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA, ISO 14040/44), grouped under the GHG Protocol (Scope 1·2·3): from the vine to your glass. The footprint has a fixed part — production and packaging, constant per bottle — and a variablepart: transport, calculated from your real address at the time of the order.
| Breakdown per bottle (75 cl) | kg CO₂e |
|---|---|
| Production and bottling | 0,55 |
| Glass bottle · 230 g | 0,15 |
| Sugar-cane stopper | 0,00 |
| FSC label | 0,03 |
| Cardboard box (prorated, case of 6) | 0,05 |
| Seal | 0,01 |
| Fixed part · constant per bottle | 0,79 |
| Transport to your door | variable · with your address |
Figures estimated with our own methodology on recognised reference factors; official values are independently audited.
Transport is the only part of the footprint that depends on you, so we don't use zone averages: when you enter your address, we calculate the actual distance from our dispatch point to your door and convert it into kg of CO₂ with recognised factors (GLEC · ISO 14083).
≈ 0.10 kg of CO₂e per tonne-kilometre, with a +30% detour factor over the straight-line distance — trucks don't fly.
≈ 0.016 kg per tonne·km. The Balearic and Canary Islands and overseas destinations add their sea leg to the calculation.
Each bottle shipped weighs ≈ 1.05 kg with packaging. More bottles, more weight, more transport: the calculation reflects it exactly.
In the cart and checkout you see your footprint broken down — fixed, transport and prudence — before confirming. No surprises.
Before offsetting, we assume our footprint is 50% higher than calculated. We'd rather overshoot than fall short: if the calculation were off, the offset covers it easily. We say so clearly on every certificate.
Offsetting is no excuse not to reduce. Glass is the heaviest part of a wine's footprint, and we've pushed it to the limit: our bottle weighs 230 grams — one of the lightest in the world, 62% less than a standard 600 g one. And whatever's unnecessary, gone.
Dry-farmed, low yield, no synthetic chemicals. EU organic certification.
Our own high-altitude vineyards, old bush vines, local hands-on work.
On the considered footprint (already with the +50%) we offset until there remain 100 kg net per case — about 13 times the footprint of a domestic order. Offsetting and reduction are communicated separately: we don't call the product 'neutral' just for offsetting.
Retires verified carbon credits (standards like Verra and Gold Standard) from a diversified portfolio of climate projects. Each offset is genuinely retired, with a serial number and public registry. It's the hard proof of the 100 kg net per case.
We plant a tree per case, in your name, with its species, location and unique URL. It's the gesture you can visit — and an extra we don't count within the 100 kg, so as not to inflate the figure.
Every order generates a certificate with the real emissions, the considered footprint, what was offset and your net contribution — with verifiable references for the retired credits. Anyone can check it with the certificate number, no account and no permission needed.
All of this, with certificates in your business's name and professional pricing.
