LS Merchants Riesling 2024 from Margaret River is a zesty, coastal‑styled Riesling that puts refreshment first – bright citrus, light florals and a clean, saline edge that makes it a brilliant summer white. LS Merchants Riesling 2024 opens with lime, lemon zest, green apple and a hint of jasmine over a stony backbone.

On the palate it’s all drive and clarity: crunchy citrus and apple, a little grapefruit pith and a subtle tonic‑water twist riding on brisk acidity. It sits light‑to‑medium in body, finishing dry, tight and mouth‑watering, with just enough texture to feel serious without losing its thirst‑quenching, smashable character.

For food, LS Merchants Riesling 2024 is spot‑on with oysters, prawns, fish and chips, salt‑and‑pepper squid or Thai and Vietnamese salads, where that acidity slices straight through salt, batter and chilli. It is also excellent with goats cheese, fresh cheeses or a herby roast veg tart, bringing enough line and length to handle citrus, herbs and dressings while staying clean, cool and very easy to keep topping up.
