Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand

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 Cloudy Bay. Legend tells of a sailor who visited the bay by sailing vessel in the late 1800s. 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\n \n \n be, this idyllic spot became known as Monkey Bay.\n \n View More
