Maggie Kruse
Maggie Kruse joined Jordan as enologist in 2006. She was promoted to assistant winemaker in 2009 and works closely with Winemaker Rob Davis and Assistant Winemaker Ronald Du Preez to guide Jordan wines from grape to bottle.
As assistant winemaker at Jordan, Kruse oversees all aspects of quality control in the laboratory and cellars, such as fermentation monitoring, tank and lot organizing, bottling, labeling and cork selection. With Davis and Du Preez constantly visiting the vineyards, Kruse helps to guide every wine lot through the fermentation process with daily testing at the winery. Her dedication to quality has taken her to Portugal twice to learn hands-on about prestige cork production and to the forests of Bordeaux to study barrel making. Read more
