you might want to clean the cavity with alcohol and reapply a powder in case the wound got contaminated, apparently baby powder is the choice in EU, I prefer Captan or sulphur myself.

make sure there is NO tension on that vine,,,

cover the fruit with a tarp if you haven't already, keep it dry for the rest of the season, the fans should be 24/7 until it is dry,,then monitor and turn them on when needed

other than that you should be fine
