Our Review
LS Merchants was started by Dylan Arvidson and his partner Taryn in 2017. Arvidson was born in Blenheim NZ, raised in Geelong and moved to Margaret River in 2009 to work at Juniper Estate. LS Merchants is focused on making wine from many different regions in Western Australia (Margaret River, their base, the Great Southern and Geographe). While Arvidson 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 they are bound together by his clean, bright and expressive winemaking style. -ERIN LARKIN
