Okay, I bottled a peach chenin blanc about a month ago that turned out GREAT. It was properly degassed, very clear, and I'd let it bulk age for several months. When I bottled it, I added K-Meta and just a bit of wine conditioner (about 2oz per gallon) and the wine conditioner had potassium sorbate along with the sugars. The finished wine was BEAUTIFUL. So today, I go to grab a bottle for a special dinner... and it's unmistakeable: slight dusting of spent yeast at the bottom of the bottle... little bubbles as the bottle moves around... I pour a glass and it's a bit effervescent... ARGH!!!!!
So - I want to save this wine and I'm willing to do the work. I'm thinking that I need to get all of this back into a carboy with some k-meta and degas again, then wait a bit... but I'd really like someone with more experience to give me some advice...
... so... any advice out there???
