		If you ever visit KK Ptuj - Haloze, you will probably not get a chance to sample from the oldest bottles of the archive, but you will always be able to taste a number of excellent wines.
		K Ptuj produces 24,000 hectoliters (634,000 gallons) of wines annually, and its winegrowing is predominantly traditional using oak barrels.
		In bad years, the pigmentation of the grapes is somewhat weak, requiring protracted maceration to achieve the appropriate colour of wine; this makes the taste of tannin somewhat strong in the young wine, which should be aged to mellow the flavour.
