To get up to speed on the modern workflow, watch this tutorial:
It was done in the DT 3.6 days, so he uses an old version of Filmic and Sigmoid wasn’t around either, but that doesn’t change the fundamental concepts.
Here’s a quick Filmic-based edit, that largely follows the workflow in the video:

Including downloading and importing the raw, it took me maybe 5 minutes.
Enabled denoise (profiled) and did some basic sharpening with the diffuse or sharpen AA filter preset. For white balance I used the auto picker in color calibration, lowering the chroma until I was happy with the look (for the most accurate results, it’s important to denoise first, by the way). For the colors I started with the basic colorfulness: standard preset in color balance rgb, adding some more saturation in the mid-tones. I finished in filmic by setting the white and black relative exposure to taste and adding a bit of contrast in the look tab.
