Marketing - Wine / Oenology / Viticulture / Brochure for a winery
German term or phrase: Handwerk mit Leidenschaft
It's a brochure advertising a 400-year-old winery in Franconia. The style in German is very flowery so I am trying to match it in English. There are several big headings "Wir leben Wein" , " Wein und Architektur: Wie eine gelungene Cuvee" and this one:
Der Keller . Handwerk mit Leidenschaft

Wir arbeiten mit dem, was die Natur uns schenkt.
Und das ist reichlich. Die Qualität wächst im Weinberg
......
Bei der Vinifikation steht die Qualitätserhaltung,
welche bereits im Weinberg konsequent betrieben wird,
im Vordergrund. ....
So entstehen authentische Weine, die durch ihre
Persönlichkeit und ihren Facettenreichtum einzigartig sind.
Synergie von Mensch und Natur.
Weinbereitung mit Sensibilität und Augenmaß…
 
What do I use for "Handwerk" here ? And is there an alternative to "Passion"?
Thanks in advance to any wine-loving colleagues with bright ideas!

testament to our craftsmanship and passion


Explanation:
We need to integrate 'wine cellar' into the expression. Perhaps something like this:

"The wine cellar - testament to our craftsmanship and passion."

Normally I have a preference of verb phrases over noun phrases. But in this case, I would agree with Edith.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Michael. Your suggestion is indeed "flowery" but the word "testament" has too many deadly overtones for me. I like "craftsmanship", though.

agree  Lancashireman: 'dedication' makes a pleasant change

  -> Yes, I'm passionate about variations.
agree  Björn Vrooman: This one also sounds more like reaping rewards through hard work. E.g.: "...a family-run wine company with a dedication to craftsmanship spanning 80 years..." https://www.burntshirtvineyards.com/about/ Dedicated craftsmanship works, too.
