Te Mata vineyard manager Carl Gunderson has won the top prize in the BASF New Zealand AgriPhoto competition, with an image of handpicking fruit in Havelock Hills.

Weekly winners were chosen from hundreds of entries across the country. 

Carl took the grand prize with his shot of a Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme worker from Vanuatu.

He loves the winning image as it shows the worker's emotion, blue skies and perfect fruit.

"It's easy to forget how much effort goes into each glass of wine, but hopefully my photography helps people understand a little bit better of the effort that is required."
