New to brewing having cloudy issues

[Elderbrew1]

Hi. I'm new to wine making and it have 2 batches on the go elderflower and rhubarb. The elderflower finished fermenting so it added Campden tablets and a stabaliser. The wine has been sitting in a dark place for almost two weeks and hasn't cleared at all. I'm not sure what the issue is that has caused the cloudiness so I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm have read bentonite can help bit don't want to add anything unnecessary.

Was it clear before bottling? I bottled a clear in the carboy strawberry wine recently that clouded up once bottled. It took about a month (or so, I boxed it and put it in a closet), but cleared back up.

It hasn't been bottled yet. Is due to be bottled this weekend. But don't want to until i have the issue cleared. .. pun intended.

How long has the elderflower been fermenting? Fermentation may cease because all the sugar has been converted to CO2 and alcohol but there are many , many chemical processes still ongoing that make even a good wine remarkably better.
Folk versions of elderflower wine (the people who add vinegar and call the wine "champagne") typically bottle after a few weeks and talk about the dangers of bottle bombs and so advise to bottle in plastic soda bottles. I keep vinegar and wine a mile apart and allow my elderflower wines to age for months and months, racking every two or three months to remove the wine from the lees (and remove yeast cells from the wine). The wine clears bright in the carboy before I bottle. The secret ingredient in all good wine is ... patience.

http://www.farminmypocket.co.uk/featured/elderflower-wine-recipe this is the recipe I followed. I have racked it a couple of times and it has had Campden and stabalising agents added. The recipe says it should start to clear by 2 weeks but could take longer. I'm approaching 2 weeks now and it is still very cloudy no sign of clearing at all. Patience isn't my strongest point but I'm working on it!
