St. Paul, MN (WXOW) - A Spring Valley winery has taken top honors at the fourth annual International Cold Climate Wine Competition at the University of Minnesota.

The wine is a 2011 La Crescent wine from Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery.

It won the Minnesota's Governor's Cup Trophy and the "Best of Show" for the top white wine.

This year's competition included more than 325 wines from commercial wineries in 12 states and Canada.

The annual competition is a partnership between the Minnesota Grape Growers Association and the University of Minnesota, which developed several of the cold-hardy grapes used to make the wines in the competition. The judges include prominent wine writers, restaurateurs, retailers and wine educators.
