I had a split of my Torrontes the other night and noticed sulphite on the nose and a little in the taste. It occurred to me yesterday that the likely reason for that is I ran a SANITIZING dose of sulphited water through the filter before filtering. (One gallon, with three TBS of KMeta) :slp

The wine has been bottled. Is there anything I can do, or do I just need to give it a good, long rest?

A good long rest and decant when you open a bottle! I had a wine that had a strong sulfite smell, I decanted and that seem to really help.
 
Give it a year in the bottle and the sulfa smell will be gone. Or decant as already recamended for earlier drinking.
I doubled dosed two batches I was about to bottle once. After a year the one was fine. The other I "aired" out untill the sulfa smell was gone and then bottled. That one was for early drinking and I did not want to wait!
