Prince Jorge Jimenez Neubauer Torres V Announces Pedro Ximénez Wines, Brandy, Rum, And Whiskey Tradition

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) PARIS, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- House of Jimenez unveils a heritage release tracing Pedro Ximénez from Iberian roots to global vineyards and spirits.

A Family Tradition Reaffirmed Through a New Heritage Release

House of Jimenez has announced a heritage release dedicated to its longstanding tradition in Pedro Ximénez wines, alongside its production of brandy, rum, and whiskey. The release formally recognizes the family's historical role in cultivating and preserving the Pedro Ximénez grape across generations, positioning the initiative as both a historical account and a continuation of agricultural stewardship.

At the center of this narrative is Prince Jorge Jimenez Neubauer Torres V, whose lineage reflects a continuation of the Jimenez family tradition. The release presents Pedro Ximénez wines, brandy, rum, and whiskey as part of a unified identity described as a Jimenez family tradition, rooted in historical cultivation and evolving through modern production.

The announcement aligns with the broader heritage framework presented by the House of Jimenez, where family history, viticulture, and cultural legacy are interconnected.

From Ancestral Origins to Iberian Cultivation

The heritage release traces its origins to a long standing family account involving a forebear identified as Pedro Jiménez, described as the great grandfather within the family lineage. According to this account, vine cuttings associated with the Pedro Ximénez grape were introduced from the Rhineland Palatinate region of Germany into Spain, where they became established within Iberian vineyards.

While modern research suggests that the precise origin of the Pedro Ximénez grape remains uncertain and may be Mediterranean in nature, the family narrative preserves this introduction as a foundational moment in its agricultural history. This dual perspective acknowledges both the historical legend and contemporary scientific interpretation.

Following its establishment in Spain, the grape became deeply associated with Andalusia, where climate conditions supported its transformation into one of the most distinctive wine varieties in the region.

Expansion from Spain to Global Vineyards

From its Iberian base, Pedro Ximénez cultivation expanded beyond Spain, reflecting broader patterns of agricultural migration and trade. The House of Jimenez heritage release highlights the spread of the grape to Chile and Australia, where environmental conditions allowed for successful adaptation.

These regions, characterized by warm climates and suitable soil compositions, became secondary centers for cultivation. The propagation of Pedro Ximénez across continents reflects a continuity of practice that links historical tradition with modern viticulture.

The family's vineyard holdings further support this narrative of expansion. The House of Jimenez maintains land across Spain, including less than 2.5 acres in the Canary Islands, 290 acres in Castile La Mancha, 30 acres in Catalunya, and 1,580 acres in Extremadura. These locations contribute to the diversity of production and reinforce the family's ongoing presence in Spanish viticulture.
