Sure can – here's how it works (to the best of my knowledge):

Correct: This is a varietal wine, consisting of 100% Chardonnay.
Correct: This Chardonnay wine displays typical varietal characteristics of tropical fruit and full body.
Correct: Winery X has just released a series of varietals (100% Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, & Cab Sauv wines).
Incorrect: Merlot ripens more quickly than other varietals.
