Cycles Gladiator
About
Cycles Gladiator was founded in 2005 with the mission to create high quality, great tasting wines that are accessible to everyone.
Inspired by the women’s suffrage movement, we drew our name from the 19th century French bicycle manufacturer, the Gladiator Company, and honor their iconic art on our wine label. The red-haired maiden soaring through the sky on her bicycle symbolized the new liberation of women from their homes after centuries of repression. Bicycles, as Susan B. Anthony praised, literally emancipated women from domesticity, allowing them to travel outside their households to work and vote.
Over a century later, this powerful artwork still resonates with wine lovers across the country.
