Eduardo Jordán

The Climb

Since 2018, the Chief Winemaker and Technical Director role at Miguel Torres Chile has put Eduardo Jord at the junction of vineyard and cellar, where day-to-day decisions and longer-range planning have to hold together. It is work that demands consistency in the glass and discipline across the vintage calendar, with the technical side of the job sitting alongside a broader responsibility for how wines are shaped over time. In Chile, where site is often read clearly in the bottle, that balance carries real weight. The craft here starts well before the winery. Jord’s approach places soil, vineyard health, and the surrounding living system ahead of any final adjustment in cellar, treating those earlier decisions as the ones that echo most clearly in the finished wine. In the Miguel Torres Chile frame, his remit points to winemaking as both protection and refinement: holding onto character, tightening technique, and keeping the link between vineyard condition and wine quality visible in the work.

Today

Today, Eduardo Jord is closely associated with regenerative viticulture as a working position within Chilean wine, not as a slogan but as a practical standard for how the vineyard should be handled. The emphasis is on restoration as well as maintenance: making the ground stronger, not simply leaving it less damaged. That changes the terms of the work. The vineyard becomes an active system to be read and supported, and the cellar follows from that understanding rather than standing apart from it. His perspective also puts continuity ahead of short-term impact. Jord frames Chile’s diversity as something that has to be carried forward through the health of the landscapes behind the wines, which gives the idea of sustainability a clear trade meaning. The goal is not a one-season result. It is to produce wines that still make sense later because the place that formed them was handled with care and intention.

In Their Words “By working regeneratively, we preserve Chile's diversity so our wines can tell the story of this land for generations to come.” “Organic was just the beginning. Regenerative viticulture breathes new life back into the soil.”
