In the picturesque landscapes of Western Australia's Margaret River wine region,
LS Merchants emerged as a winery with a mission: crafting interesting, approachable, and most importantly, delicious wines while staying true to our belief that wine should be a source of enjoyment and not taken too seriously. Over the years, LS Merchants has become more than just a winery—It encapsulates the art of winemaking, honours the rich lands, pays tribute to the spirit of exploration, and brings together individuals who share these values and enjoy a grape related pun every now and then.
Our belief?
That crafting great wines requires quality fruit and the expression of the unique terroir and climate where they thrived. Driven, curious and armed with years of wine expertise, Dylan embarked on an extraordinary journey to source the finest grapes from West Australia's diverse regions, beginning with Margaret River and expanding beyond as LS Merchants grew.
Each bottle tells the tale of our founder—a grape explorer with a deep respect for the lands, a yes man with an inability to sit still, an over-caffienated wine wizard with an unwavering devotion to the craft. As you sip, join us on a journey through the regions, feel the earth beneath your feet, and reap the delightful results of our hard work.
Each vintage, we venture north to the Swan Valley with its historic charm, gnarly old vines and locals who’ve aged like fine wine, south-east to the lush vineyards of Pemberton, where spuds and grapes grow side by side, onto Manjimup, the Blackwood Valley, and Frankland River, where ancient soils and meandering rivers have infused the grapes with distinct qualities.
Over the years, LS Merchants has created lasting bonds with local growers and vintners. We swap stories, wisdom, potatoes and share a deep connection to the Noongar lands, enhancing our understanding of the regions' heritage and deepening our commitment to the craft.
Back at the winery, traditional winemaking techniques, innovative methods, bold intuition and reckless experimenting all play a role in the making of our wines, ensuring the process is thrilling and unique each vintage.
The result is an extensive collection of handcrafted wines that showcase the beauty and diversity of South West Aus, each bearing the unmistakable mark of its region.
