Our Barbera has Flowers!

We planted our Barbera in 2016 and this year we laid down a single guyot and we have flowers! While we were busy shoot positioning the Chardonnay, the Barbera decided to take off. Some of our shoots have almost reached the third catch wire. We are learning a lot about the habit of this vine. It is very different from our other vines. The flower has a tendril!
Our other varieties do not exhibit this mode of growth. What does the Barbera do with the tendril? All kinds of things that tendrils normally do, but this time with a flowering half.

We are shoot thinning and shoot positioning so that means spending some time to untangle the tendrils, very carefully. This is a picture of the before and after shoot thinning.
