Goat Square is a focal point of the Barossa Valley wine industry with its history as the ziegemarkt or merket place for the whole region.
Charles Flaxman was granted land covering the future village of Tanunda on 30 th May, 1842. Flaxman worked as an agent for George Fife Angas for a number of years, surveying land acquired by Angas. Flaxman laid out the town of Tanunda. At its centre a square known as Ziegenmarkt – later referred to as billy goat square and now as Goat Square.
The two settlements pre-datimg Tanunda are Bethany (1842) and Langmeil (1843).
Goat Square was a meeting place for bartering goods including livestock. It was a short distance away from the row of ‘primitive’ wineries that opened along Langmeil Road. No doubt they traded wine.
Shiraz was one of the early varieties planted and appropriately is the flagship wine of Goat Square Vignerons. Goat Square also makes Grenache and a Shiraz Grenache Mataro.

Goat Square ‘Ziegenmarkt’ Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$18.50The 2021 is exceptional being from the 10/10 vintage 2021. This makes it the eighth release of Ziegenmarkt.
The reasons why the Barossa is associated with rich flavours is complex though is due to the geography, the inland summer heat and cooling air from the west. We now know enough to say that no other place on earth duplicates these conditions. Shiraz takes on a concentrated, heady flavour, with a luxurious mid-palate sensation of fruit sweetness.
