A few things come to mind:

The age of the wood: As the following article suggests, “Older bark cracks from the expansion growth of new bark beneath it, creating the peeling bark that is characteristic of older wood on grapevines”. https://bit.ly/1er3KGf ^[1]

It could also be the result of winter injury as suggested in the following Cornell University article: https://bit.ly/1FAfOy1 ^[2]
