You are confused. Reply-All, will reply to both the Sender and all
Recipients, other than any the Mail User Agent (in this case Gmail)
knows to be yours.
So if you Reply, the reply will go to the From: address. Virtual rewriting
does not change the From: address.
If you Reply-All, then the reply will Cc the forwarded mailbox.
It is of course possible that you are implementing forwarding in some
other way, that does change the From: address, but that is not how
Postfix virtual alias rewriting works.
