Scorched greenhouse Grapevine

During the hot weather we had a week back I was away from home and not there to open the greenhouse door to regulate the temp.
As a result the temperature went up to 52 deg. This scorched half of the leaves and fruit on the vine. the fruit and leaves that were not scorched look healthy
Is this likely to damage the vine and is there anything to mitigate it?
As an aside even my apples have brown marks on the side facing the sun! I don’t know what the outside temp was but it must have been hot!

Hi Doug. Not familiar with vine cultivation. All I can say is to just treat it with tlc now and see what happens. I must have missed that hot day! Hope it wasn't our Summer
since finding the vine problem I have discovered more over heating problems....
Some onions I had placed in the green house to dry out have been partially cooked and some apples on my trees also, one apple even has a sun burn shadow where a leaf was shading it, that is the strangest one as of course the apple trees are not in the green house but trained up a south/west wall that is painted white!
