On Monday my Renaissance Viognier was ready to be bottled...sparkling clear as a matter of fact. Unfortunately with my inexperience I kicked up sediment when I was racking prior to bottling. I didn't realize this at first because I racked to plastic primary bucket. I noticed that my wine was cloudy after trying to filter- the filter clogged and we stopped after filtering about half a bottle's worth of wine. It should also be noted that I added the sorbate since I was following directions. Now I have a cloudy wine.
I didn't have enough wine to fit my 6 gallon Italian carboy so I racked the wine to my husband's 5 gallon glass carboy and put the remaining in bottles. I really didn't want to top off my wine.
I am hoping it will clear but have a feeling this is going to take a long time. I contacted Mosti and am waiting to hear what they recommend.
Any words of wisdom? My thoughts are just to wait it out and let the wine clear on it's own. My guess is that it is going to take a few months to clear...
