Should all fruit additions be done as whole fruit chunks, or is it at times acceptable to purée fruit.

I have added a puréed can of strawberries to a peach wine, not all the fruit settles compact against my lees. What sort of wizardy can be used to get the last bits of fluid resting amongst this puréed fruit matter?
 
Haha it's ok.

I have been thinking that a strainer/sieve/colander of some sort would work, just not super sure what's available in such a fine mesh... Like maybe silkscreen materials?

The ultimate reason I ask is because I'm an unaware if there is a difference in how much flavor and sugar you can use/extract in conjunction with pectins, in relation to the fruits surface area.
