Vintage Report 1908:

Brandy:
This year witnessed a small yield but the quality was good.

Champagne:
The vintage was disastrous. Mildew was prevalent and the grapes were gathered under bad conditions, to the year can be considered a failure.

Claret:
A fairly large return was secured, but the quality of the wines was variable; subsequent development was better than has been expected.

Hock and Moselle:
Although quite small, the quality was good.

Port:
One of the finest vintages for years occurred. The yield was average, but the wines produced were of excellent quality and possessed good colour, flavour and bodied.
