There is a possible duplication for some van Volxem entries and photo images. I notice that for instance there is a van Volxem 2005 [Wiltinger] Gottesfuss [Gottesfuß] listed and also a van Volxem 2005 Gottesfuss Alte Reben. The former actually contains a photo of the Alte Reben labeling. I have not been able to confirm if there is now an Alte Reben and a non-Alte Reben release, but I can write Roman Niewodniczansky about this if it would be helpful to get this from the horses' mouth, so to speak.

(the AP number of the Gottesfuß Alte Reben is 3 567 212 15 06, by the way.)

In addition, it should be noted that most of the 'best' van Volxems sold under vineyard names are actually now VDP 'erste lage' bottlings, but they are not strictly speaking TROCKEN wines. Roman often leaves a little too much residual sugar in his wines to qualify for a TROCKEN designation. Given that, he usually bottles his wines as QbAs. The possibilities here for confusion are as great as always.
