LS Merchants Sun Rider 2024
Dylan@LS Merchants: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Vermentino. We wanted to make a light to medium bodied, aromatic white wine. A wine that sits perfectly between our Vermentino, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Something that has you excited for a second, third, fourth glass! It has so many layers and flavours to keep you intrigued.
Tasting Notes
Pear skin, green apple, musk stick, rosewater and white stone fruit. It has the perfect balance of palate weight and tight, saline acidity.
Plaudits
This is my go-to drink on a warm day or night, when I want something refreshing, savoury and satisfying. Pops of lemon, lime curd, baked apple and warm spices. It feels light and bright, yet there’s some texture and light phenolics adding shape. Nice one. James Halldiay. 95 Points

About Winery
About Winery
Dylan Arvidson has quickly established a loyal following with LS Merchants. Something like a cult. Creative, young, new-world, informal, approachable, fun. It’s the stuff the cool kids drink but to call it hipster would be seriously under appreciating how good this wine is.
Rock up to LS Merchants and be charmed by the affable Bella (who knows a heck of a lot more about wine than she lets on) or the hilarious Declan, part raconteur, part madman, always entertaining. Later on, Dylan might even be spinning the decks on lawn outside.
James Halliday.
LS Merchants is focused on making wine from many different regions in Western Australia (Margaret River, their base, the Great Southern and Geographe). While Dylan Arvidson, head winemaker and owner, adheres to a minimalist winemaking approach he does not identify as a ‘natural winemaker’, rather allowing wild fermentation to occur where possible and pushing wine grapes and styles in many different directions. There is plenty of variety in the LS Merchants portfolio, but the wines are bound together by his clean, bright and expressive winemaking style.
