I use a freezer with temperature controller to cold stabilise my white wines. I ser the temp at 2 degrees C and leave it for a few weeks.
A few d as ys ago I transferred 30 litres of chardonnay into the freezer but forgot to drop the temperature probe in. Consequently I now have a 30 litre chardonnay iceblock.
What impact is this likely to have on the wine once thawed? I'm thinking maybe no negative effect.
 
Freezing creates small dust like potassium bitartrate crystals. This makes it harder to get them out.
Your chill process produces large flakes which grow on the bottle or carboy. The wine is cleaner.
