Do berry wines benefit from cold "stabilization" ?

I have two batch of bilberry wine (red style) in bulk aging at room temperature. I did not add tartaric acid at all therefore I wonder whether or not moving the carboys to a cold place will make a significant change to the wine?

The wine is clear but taste a bit bitter so I expect more sediments to form at the bottom eventually. Just wondering if cold will help precipitation and settling of any death yeast still floating around?

Thanks
 
Typically, yes. Chilling does help in precipitation of sediments. My guess is you don't need to chill it as cold as one would for tartrate stabilization.
