Australia Vineyards Lenton Brae Estate Lenton Brae Estate is a small winery owned and operated by the Tomlinson Family. Bruce, until recently, managed the vineyard while Jeanette manages the administration and sales and can usually be found at the cellar door. Edward their youngest son is the winemaker. Lenton Brae Estate is situated in the Willyabrup Valley of the Margaret River wine region in the south west of Western Australia.Lenton Brae's winery is an architectural icon of the Margaret River wine region. It was designed by Bruce Tomlinson in 1989. Prior to developing Lenton Brae, Bruce was an architect and town planning consultant. The winery is constructed with rammed earth, a typical building material of the district comprising solid gravel and cement walls 350 mm wide. This results in an impressive, solid, fortress-like construction which is cool in summer and warm in winter. As well as tasting our wines, visitors to the cellar door can enjoy our magnificent lead light window. Entitled 'Sunlight Through Canopy' by Perth artist Heather Jones, this window beautifully captures the effect of the sun's rays as they filter through the vines. The building also incorporates a viewing platfrom from which both a panoramic view of the Willyabrup Valley and the winery operations can be safely observed. In 1998 the Busselton Shire Council heritage listed the building for its architectural significance. Lenton Brae Estate is is situated on Caves Road, Willyabrup, in the heart of the Margaret River wine region. The textbook soils comprise a gravely loam overlaying a clay base. The gravely loam provides natural drainage through the root zone while the clay base improves water retention which in turn encourages deep root penetration. All 10 hectares have access to drip irrigation which is used judiciously towards the end of the growing season. This keeps the vines healthy, and actively producing sugar and flavour compounds right up until harvest.
