In the year 2003, the visionary and pioneer, Dipl.-Ing. Oen. (FH) Carsten Heinemeyer laid the
foundation stone for the 2B company. For over two decades, he shaped the wine industry with his passion
and unshakeable belief in the power of nature. As a pioneer of minimalist winemaking, he set new standards
and inspired many to follow his example.
Carsten Heinemeyer's professional career impressively reflects his love of wine. After training as a wine
cooper in Breisach, his path led him to the renowned Geisenheim University of Applied Sciences, where he
studied viticulture and oenology from 1992 to 1998. Before becoming self-employed, he gained valuable
experience in the international wine industry as Marketing Manager for Wine, Fruit Juice & Spirits and

His life and work were always characterized by the search for natural, sustainable methods of winemaking.
Until his sudden death in December 2023, Carsten Heinemeyer led the development of new oenological products
with tireless dedication and creativity. His inexhaustible spirit of innovation and his deep understanding
of the power of nature made him a unique personality in the world of wine.
Together with his dedicated team, Carsten Heinemeyer built up a global network that carried the 2B solutions
