First time making wine from juice. I racked it twice and it was clear in bottling day. All of my equipment was sanitized with starsan, but I just noticed today that it has these globs floating in it. Any idea what this could be or what went wrong? Thanks in advance.

looks like proteins dropping out of the wine. bentonite added during fermentation will prevent this in future. as for the present back into carboy and bentonite fining is the only solution I can suggest
