Lenton Brae is an Australian winery at Wilyabrup, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia.

Established 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]
