Savignon blanc

[Gwand]

I am making my first white wine from a kit. It is the WE Eclipse Savignon Blanc. The must went into secondary today. It smells good but it is extremely cloudy. Is it typical for white wine to be cloudy during secondary process. Thanks.

It's typical for most wines to be cloudy when just going into secondary.
In fact, it may not completely clear until after several rackings.

Most kits include fining agents and after they are added you will see a big difference.

The two whites I've done were way cloudy at that stage. Mine began clearing 2-3 days after stabilization and adding clearing agents. End of two weeks they were fully cleared. These were RJS VdV kits.
