I have a carambola wine, started last summer, which tastes fantastic. It has been backsweetened with a little sugar and a small f-pac (I didn't have very many fruit left). The wine was somewhat hazy before I added the f-pac and perhaps more so now after the f-pac. Bentonite didn't touch this haze.

Suggestions for next steps? I don't have any other fining agents here but I can order if needed. Would it do any harm to try treating it for pectin haze?
 
Tried the pectic, no joy.
Ordered some SuperKleer, hopefully that will work. Should I rack it off of the bentonite before trying the Superkleer? Or should I just add the Superkleer, rack once, then bottle (assuming it works)?
 
I would rack it.
the super clear should work assuming you have degassed the wine.
 
Closing the loop here...Duster was right, SuperKleer worked like a charm. Amazing stuff.
