History

Entrance to Ramat Raziel

The village was established in 1948 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Kasla.[2] It was named after David Raziel, chief commander of the Irgun.[3][4]

Despite the difficult terrain, the economy was based on farming.[5] In 1988 Eli Ben-Zaken planted vineyards and established Domaine du Castel, an award-winning winery, in Ramat Raziel.[6]
