In a medium saucepan, bring the water, wine and sugar to a boil. Turn the heat to medium – low and add the sliced lemon, cinnamon stick and pears (standing). Cover and simmer until the pears are very tender, at least 20 minutes.

Serve pears chilled and sliced thinly, fan decoratively on a plate and drizzle the syrup over the top.
