The DO is named after one of the island's districts (comarcas) and, in Mallorquí, it means 'plain and east coast' . The DO's regulation was published in spring 2001.
The vineyards lie in the flat, chalky central and eastern areas of the island, which offer optimum soil conditions. The first vintages to have emerged suggest an interesting potential for powerful Mediterranean wines .
