I have about 15 litres of white wine from a blend of Pinot Gris and
Chardonnay. It has finished alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and
I have racked it off the lees and oak. The color is a fairly dark
brown for a white wine and I don't know why. There appears to be a
heavy particulate load as the wine is nearly opaque after
fermentation. I wasn't concerned about this, looking forward to
fining to see what color it was going to be.

I first fined it with Spakalloid. Nothing happened except the
Sparalloid settled to the bottom. Then I hit it with a couple of
teaspoons of Bentonite. Still nothing happened. What is this? The
wine smells good and tastes fine, expect I have to drop some acid
through cold stabalization. What do I need to do?
