Ptujska klet

Ptujska klet Welcome to the official page of Ptujska klet, the oldest and most awarded winery in Slovenia.

[MISSION]
Ptujska klet is a modern and recognizable winery, embedded in the tradition of its environment, but at the same time free to accept the challenges of the global world. We produce wines of the highest quality, which pride themselves with the beauty of the wider area of Ptuj, Štajerska and Slovenia, as well as the charming taste of Haloze and Slovenske gorice. We constantly monitor modern

technological achievements in wine production and customer requirements, which we transofrm into modern wines. Our goal is to become the most successful and widely recognized producer of quality Slovenian wines.

[VALUES]
Our work and approach to wine production are based on the awareness that we can only strive for perfection with complete dedication, passion, and love. We believe in the excellence of our wine-growing areas, in the dedication of our warm-hearted winegrowers and the excellence of our cellarmen. We are building on two thousand years of passion and love for wine.

[VINEYARDS]
Our grapes ripen in the famous locations of the wine-growing district Štajerska Slovenia (Styria), more precisely in Haloze and Srednje Slovenske gorice. Vineyards are spread over 300 hectares of steep and mostly terraced hillsides on left and right banks of the Drava River and reach an altitude of 400 meters above sea level. The varied terrain is mainly dominated by gravel and clay, while the lower layers are covered with a layer of marl. Freshness and fertility place the region at the very top of the world's most suitable areas for viticulture.

[AWARDS]
With our wines we strive to create a synonym for distinct varietal aroma, perfect balance, drinkability, health, and highest quality. Our wines with the fingerprint of the Styrian landscape convince even the most demanding wine connoisseurs. This is confirmed by hundreds of awards and medals received at prestigious international and domestic wine competitions (Decanter, AWC Vienna, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, Mundus Vini, SFWC S. Francisco, Finger Lakes...).

[WINES]
Our wines, known under the brands Pullus, Haložan and Pinky Chick, demonstrate a perfect balance between tradition and the demands of today's wine lovers at home and around the world. Each vintage is characterized by only healthy and carefully selected high-quality grapes that are picked by hand. In the cellar, tradition then combines with state-of-the-art technology and oenological expertise, which together create some of the healthiest wines on the market, while also revealing the secrets of fearless viticulture on very steep and mostly terraced hillsides. We produce around one million litres of wine annually, of which 85 percent are white varieties, including Welschriesling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Rhine Riesling, Yellow Muscat, Traminer, Silvaner, Pinot Blanc, Müller-Thurgau (Riesling-Sylvaner), Otonel Muscat and others. Red wines are represented by Pinot Noir, Blaufrankisch and Black Velvet and others.

[SPIRITS]
Ptujska klet is also home to the oldest distillery in Slovenia, which has been known for generations under the brand name Petovia. The beginning of the production of spirits dates to 1873, and the long tradition of proven traditional spirit flavours has been passed down from generation to generation and preserved until today.

[Vinska šola] EP. 2: Kako vino pravilno povohamo? 🍷👃

Tudi pri vonjanju vina obstaja pravi vrstni red. Najprej vino nežno povonjamo brez vrtenja kozarca, nato kozarec zavrtimo in ponovno povonjamo z nekoliko intenzivnejšim vdihom.

Na koncu primerjamo oba vonja in opazujemo, kako se je vino po vrtenju odprlo. 👀

Druga lekcija opravljena. ✅

[W**e School] EP. 2: How do you smell w**e properly? 🍷👃

There is a right order when it comes to smelling w**e too. First, gently smell the w**e without swirling the glass. Then swirl it and smell it again with a slightly deeper inhale.

Finally, compare both aromas and notice how the w**e opens up after swirling. 👀

Second lesson complete. ✅

September je tukaj, šola je nazaj, v Ptujski kleti pa smo se odločili, da je čas tudi za malo vinske šole. 🍷📚

[Vinska šola] EP. 1: Zakaj vino vrtimo?

Z vrtenjem vino prezračimo in pomagamo sprostiti aromatične spojine, ki so odgovorne za njegove vonjave. Ob tem lahko opazujemo tudi barvo, bistrost in viskoznost vina.

Prva lekcija opravljena. ✅

September is here, school is back, and at Ptujska klet we decided it is time for a little w**e school too. 🍷📚

[W**e School] EP. 1: Why do we swirl w**e?

Swirling helps aerate the w**e and release the aromatic compounds responsible for its aromas. At the same time, it allows us to observe its colour, clarity and viscosity.

[Zgodbe o sortah] RENSKI RIZLING 🍇

Tokrat je Maksimiljan izbral renski rizling, sorto, ki je že dolgo razširjena po Štajerski, čeprav jo zaradi zahtevnejše pridelave danes goji vse manj vinogradnikov.

Pri nas jo še vedno z veseljem pridelujemo kot sortno vino. V aromatiki zaznamo breskve, limete in limone, pri nekoliko starejših vinih pa tudi značilno noto po petroleju. 🍋🍑

Renski rizling je tudi del Haložana, ki mu daje izrazito svežino in kislino, ki predstavlja pomembno hrbtenico vina.

[Stories about Varieties] RIESLING 🍇

This time, Maksimiljan chose Riesling, a variety that has long been widely grown across the Štajerska region, although more and more growers are moving away from it because of its demanding cultivation.

At Ptujska klet, we still proudly produce it as a varietal w**e. Its aromas reveal peach, lime and lemon, while older w**es can also develop the distinctive petrol note that is typical of Riesling. 🍋🍑

Riesling is also part of Haložan, where it contributes freshness and a firm acidity that forms an important backbone of the w**e.

Naš enolog Nejc Borko je za vino meseca tokrat izbral Rulandec, sivi pinot iz linije Artisan, poimenovan po starem slovenskem imenu za to sorto. 🍷

Gre za vino iz enega samega vinograda, grozdje pa je potrgano v polni zrelosti oziroma rahli prezrelosti. Fermentacija in zorenje potekata v kombinaciji lesene in inox posode najmanj 12 mesecev, nato pa vino še 6 mesecev zori v steklenici.

V aromatiki zaznamo hruške, karamelo in začimbe, v ustih pa ga zaznamujejo nižja kislina, kremasta struktura in poln okus.

Najlepše se poda k dimljeni ribi, poltrdim sirom, gobovim jedem in svinjini. 😋

Bi ga poskusili? 🍽️

This month, our w**emaker Nejc Borko has chosen Rulandec, a Pinot Gris from the Artisan line, named after the old Slovenian name for this grape variety. 🍷

It is a single vineyard w**e, made from grapes harvested at full ripeness or slight overripeness. Fermentation and ageing take place in a combination of oak and stainless steel for at least 12 months, followed by another 6 months of ageing in the bottle.

The aromas reveal pear, caramel and spices, while the palate is characterised by lower acidity, a creamy texture and a full flavour.

It pairs beautifully with smoked fish, semi hard cheeses, mushroom dishes and pork. 😋

Would you try it? 🍽️

Tokrat pa Maks pove, kako les vpliva na okus vina. 🍷

Katere arome mu lahko doda, kakšno vlogo ima kisik in zakaj mora biti uporaba lesa vedno premišljena? Prisluhni videu.

This time, Maks explains how wood influences the taste of w**e. 🍷

Which aromas can it add, what role does oxygen play, and why should wood always be used thoughtfully? Watch the video to find out.

Na začetku je bil leseni sod bolj ali manj edina izbira. Danes lahko vino zori v lesu, inoksu, betonu, kamnu ali celo amfori - in izbira posode nikakor ni naključna. 🍷

Maks v videu razloži, katere možnosti imajo vinarji ter kaj želijo z izbiro posamezne posode doseči.

In the beginning, wooden barrels were more or less the only option. Today, w**e can mature in wood, stainless steel, concrete, stone or even amphorae - and the choice of vessel is never accidental. 🍷

In the video, Maks explains the different options w**emakers have and what they aim to achieve with each one.
