Finca Antigua and its commitment to energy efficiency
Finca Antigua has developed a photovoltaic installation project for self-consumption at its winery in Cuenca.
One of the best options for obtaining electrical energy and a stable supply is the self-consumption photovoltaic installation. An option with excellent results and that provides greater independence in obtaining electricity and reducing the environmental impact, compared to other solutions offered by the market.
Specifically, the solar photovoltaic installation planned for Finca Antigua has an output of 120 kWp, with a solar field consisting of 360 Talesun panels and equipped with Huawei inverters.
This facility will provide more than 20% of the winery’s annual energy needs and produce more than 178,000 kWh per year. In addition, it will prevent the emission of more than 50 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year.
All this thanks to the excellence with which all projects at Finca Antigua are undertaken and the quality of the results in works such as the installation of solar panels, or the use of nanotechnology to save water in the winery.
Once again, Finca Antigua takes a decisive step in its firm commitment to sustainability and care for the environment, adopting measures that give this impetus. Finca Antigua is made up of three large steel, stone and concrete boxes around a water reservoir that supplies the needs of the vineyard, so that, in addition to being a magnificent example of integration into the landscape, it stands out for its efficiency and sustainability in all its processes.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
In Familia Martínez Bujanda we are very clear that our duty is to contribute to the improvement of the society in which we live and that, just as customers, distributors and partners place their trust in us, we must return that trust by collaborating with projects that involve social progress and contribute to improving our environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
The facilities of our farms and wineries are oriented towards the efficient use of resources to minimize their environmental impact. The conservation of nature is a fundamental value for us, as we are aware that our activity is based on the resources it provides us with.
An example of this commitment is the distinction awarded to Finca Antigua with the Best Water Management Award by the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha. The reason is the use of nanotechnology to optimize the farm’s water resources. Thanks to this system we have achieved savings in irrigation water consumption, improving the quality of our grapes due to the photosynthetic efficiency of the treated water.
We have also promoted a novel idea, the use of artificial grass in our vineyards, which reduces soil evaporation rates while preventing grass from growing in the vicinity of the vines. This allows us to improve water management on our farms.
On our farms, we prioritize natural cultivation methods whenever possible. For example, in our vineyards, we use our own pruning residues as fertilizer, as well as organic residues from the winery, such as stems and skins. In the winery, we take advantage of the building’s orientation to save energy, we recycle all the paper left over from the offices…
SOLIDARITY PROJECTS
In the field of cooperation, we collaborate with the ONGD Coopera-Jóvenes para la Cooperación Internacional al Desarrollo, an organization founded in Logroño, La Rioja, which works mainly in education, food sovereignty and professional training projects.
Together with them we market CoNparte wine. When buying this wine, customers collaborate with Coopera’s solidarity projects, since part of the price is destined to the different actions carried out by this NGO in different countries, mainly in Africa and South America.
IN 2018, THE MARTÍNEZ BUJANDA FAMILY DELIVERED MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED EUROS FROM THE SALES OF CONPARTE WINE.
We have delivered to representatives of the ONGD the proceeds of this solidarity wine throughout this year 2018, a check of € 2,516.40 that the ONGD Coopera-Jóvenes para la Cooperación Internacional al Desarrollo will allocate to various solidarity projects.
