OUR STORY
Defiance first planted along the Creston Valley hillside in 2013. With a natural balance in the soil, terrain, and climate our terroir offers a unique and sustainable home for our portfolio of premium quality Bordeaux and Petite Sirah varieties. Defiance Vineyard captures the stunning views and laid back comfort and convenience of beautiful Central Coast.
The vineyard is run and operated by the Faulkner family, drawing on each individuals passion and expertise. It is a culmination of years of hard work, as all of the infrastructure and facilities were also built by the family. They invite you to experience their vision first hand, with a tour and a taste of Defiance Vineyard.
Awards and Accolades
2017 Petite Sirah Estate Block VI
Platinum | 94 points
Best in Class | Best Petite Sirah
2020 Sommelier's Challenge
Defiance has tamed the beast that is your typical Petite Sirah, which can be wickedly tannic at times. This one has ample tannins but they are nicely integrated, ripe and supple, and don’t diminish the beautiful blueberry, blackberry and black currant notes that make this Petite Sirah so impressive. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
