Hipping

single vineyard in the municipality of Nierstein (Nierstein area) in the German wine-growing region of Rheinhessen. It lies between Brudersberg and Ölberg and is part of the so-called "Red Slope" within the Rhine front. There are several versions of the meaning of the name, as there have been various spellings in the past, such as Hüppingen, Hoppeling, Huppbuhl and Hüttebühl. According to the most common interpretation, the name could derive from the Middle High German "Hübel" for "hill" or from "Hippe" for "goat" (which perhaps once grazed here).
