Default Sulfite Question

The wine was brilliantly clear... It had been sitting around in a
carboy for several months... Had the same problems with a few apple
wines and Campden.... It is irritating to be at bottling stage, ass
campden and watch your clear wine go opaque... I added pectic enzyme
when I started the wine last summer.
