Started opening some of my 2013 batch (Niagara, Baco Noir, and DeChaunac), mainly off dry and off sweet. So, it was potassium metabisulfited and potassium sorbated, then backsweetened a bit. The bottles sometimes open with a little hiss. I suspect that it's a bit of gas coming out of suspension, as I didn't agitate much beyond what was required to backsweeten.

I highly doubt that it's refermenting, is the wine is still sweet and very clear, with no lees. Is there a trick to tell if it's one or the other?
