Hi there!
So I've just bottled a batch of Cheeky Monkey Chardonnay and prior to the wine being bottled, it was clear with a little lees on the bottom. I racked it to a clean carboy thinking I was going to filter it. My super jet decided to have a meltdown so I just proceeded to enolmatic pump the wine into the bottles right away from the clean carboy.
For some reason, that clear Chardonnay is now cloudy in the bottle. Not heavy particulate cloudy, just like it's been shaken vigorously and it's now settling. Will it settle over time and is this just a result of it being bottled?
UPDATE: It looks like there's still sediment settling in the bottles. Can I then pour the bottles back into a carboy and filter the wine to clarify it?
Cheers!
