The Overflow Estate 1895

The story of the estate is almost as long as Tolstoy's War and Peace. Suffice it to say that after 100 years of ownership by various branches of the Joyce family, this property was sold to the families of David Morgan and Philip Usher in July 2008. Those families (and friends) planted the vineyard in '10, a venture dwarfed by the 500 breeding cattle, a sand-mining operation, the so-called Hill of Stone continuously mined for sandstone blocks since '00, and 480ha of eucalypt forest. All of this is overlooked by a massive, historic house. Exports to the UK and NZ. -JAMES HALLIDAY
