Lenton Brae Estate (often referred to simply as Lenton Brae) is an Australian winery at Wilyabrup, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia.

Established by Bruce and Jeanette Tomlinson in 1982,[1] the winery first came to prominence in 1990, when it won two trophies, including the wine-of-the-show prize, at the SGIO WA Winemakers exhibition.[2] In 2009, leading Australian wine writer James Halliday rated Lenton Brae as one of the best wineries in the Margaret River region.[3]
