Did a Banana wine, smells fine but this came to the surface. (the white particles) Im thinking yeast it doesn't look fuzzy, it will fall out if agitated slightly. The darker is obviously raisins.

I'm inclined to agree that is a benign phenomenon, but only because the white chunks seem unconnected to each other.
What yeast strain was used? If it was wlp002 or 007 they're both known for doing weird "cottage cheese-y" looking things :)

Cheers!
