Am I right in assuming if a wine has cleared once it will clear again given enough time?

I have a WE Gewurz that was crystal clear, then I racked it off the fine lees and it's very hazy again, although not as much as it originally was about a month ago.

So should this clear again without adding sparkolloid or bentonite or anything?
 
I used my allinonewinepump to rack and it agitated it a bit and broke up a lot of the small particles into microscopic particles. So yeah....
 
That's just part of the process. Every time you rack, you leave most of the sediment behind. What isn't left will be mixed back in. But I think you'll find it'll settle fairly easily. Are you using the 'anti-sediment' tip on the racking cane?
 
To Boatboy24,,,, Jim whatever was in your glass in your previous avatar must have been something special! You might be able to sell that stuff! LOL
