Sarea comes from the ancient Basque language and refers to the fishing nets used for centuries in the port of Getaria. These nets were sewn and mended by Basque women all along the coast, a tradition which continues to this day. Sarea Txakoli is a tribute to these women and reflects the blend of the land and sea that is central to Basque culture.

Sarea Rosado is made from the indigenous grape varieties Hondarrabi Zuri (50 percent) and Hondarrabi Beltza (50 percent).
