MONKEY BAY
Monkey Bay wines were named after a small but beautiful bay tucked away on the Marlborough coast of New Zealand’s South Island, right next to the world renowned Cloud Bay
Legend tells of sailor who visited the bay by the sailing vessel in the late 1800’s. He reported seeing a monkey cavorting there. Locals were skeptical since monkeys aren’t native to New Zealand, though it is possible the little monkey had escaped from a whaling ship that had docked in Marlborough Whatever the real story may be , this idyllic spot became known as Monkey Bay.
