Santiago Decias may only be 35 years old, but he’s already established himself as one of South America’s leading winemakers and a person who’s unafraid to push boundaries – both literal and metaphorical. Listen to us talk about the changing styles of Tannat, (Uruguay’s signature grape), the country’s 99 soil types and the all-important influence of the Atlantic Ocean.
