Hipping

Located at the Rhenish Hessian Rhineterrace (Rhineland-Palatinate), wines of this vineyard can be marketed as Großes Gewächs, 'big growth' or Erste Lage, 'first position', provided that other quality characteristics are fulfilled.

It is part of the large vineyard Rehbach of the Rheinhessen wine region[2] and surrounds the exclusive site "Brudersberg" in southern direction and borders in the south on the location "Ölberg".

The slope gradient is up to 70% and the exposure to southeast, the incoming morning sun is particularly beneficial for Riesling.

The name of the location could be derived from the Middle High German "Hübel" for "hill" or from the tool "Hippe" for billhook.

The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953 was celebrated with a Riesling by Franz Karl Schmitt from this vineyard.
