You already have roughly 10% ABV and 1122 is only capable of roughly
14%. I would use K1V or EC1118 to restart it, they can go to 18%.
Next time figure out how much sugar you want eventually but start out
at 1.090; when it's almost done, add more sugar (or concentrate,
whatever); let it ferment, do it again and so on; feed it slowly.

I wouldn't have done that first rack, you probably threw out a lot of
good yeast and nutrient. Just a guess, I never make high alcohol
wines. I will be probably be making a sherry this year so will know
more then...
